lol. i wish the la senorita stepcharts were a little nicer, because i really want to freestyle that song (heavy little single gives a lot of empty spaces but doesn't look easy to memorize).

and sorry to whore the topic but does anybody have a video of a-jay's mobo moga?

I had a thought the other day:

It would be pretty spiffy if there was a site on the web that had instructional videos that showed how to do DDR FS moves. You could visit it, click on a move, and a video would pop up showing you step-by-step how to perform a move, then at the end it would show a full speed use of the move. This way people could actually see the move instead of trying to understand other peoples explanations of the move. This could also reduse the frequent "how do you do [insert FS move here]", because a simple link to the site would answer. Then if someone came up with an idea for a move they could record it themselves or send a description to the site manager/owner/creator and he/she could approve or disapprove it. I think this would be a spiffy idea, but seeing as I lack webpage creating skills I thought I'd pass it along and see if anyone would wanna try it.

I have to agree, I think that would be an awesome idea.

I wonder if the DDR Freak people would do it... I think I'll go "repost" the idea in the suggestion area.

Say I have an issue:

Song: D2R
Level: Light
Mods: 1.5x, Mirror

Okay that's the song and all the mods I'm using (I'm trying to learn a decent freestyle and this song just stuck out). I'm trying to learn the song on mirror so I can face the crowd the entire time (though I need work on memorizing). There's a part in the song where you hold left for 4 beats, then press down for a beat, then three beats of open space, then a hold of 4 beats on the right, down for one beat, and three open beats. For the left arrow I press with both feet, arms spread, the I lean down and press the down with either both hands, a hand, or a foot. Then for the right hold I'd like to try something where I just place my foot on it and either kick my legs up onto the bar or do some form of breakdancing stall. My problem is that I can't seem to get my body turned or my feet up by the time I need to push and hold the right arrow. Any tips, or ideas?

Maybe I can help. Single or double? I'm cofused at the pattern. What measure is it? (so I can look at the stepchart)

I'm making a return to FS, and I just heared my local arcade is switching back to tokens. Has anyone here experimented with a tip jar?

Well it's roughly 37-38 seconds into the song and lasts 16 beats:

A couple disclaimers real quick:
Routines are always better on doubles
I never put my hands on the pad in a freestyle unless I'm upside-down, or about to be upside-down.

With those out of the way, here are my thoughts:
As I see it you have 2 options after the 2 feet on

1)Swing your right foot clockwise past

and

.
Pivot on your left foot clockwise and hit

with your right foot.
Now you should be facing down and left with almost 4 full beats to do the stall or kick on

2) Take you right foot and cross it over your left foot to hit

while pivoting counter-clockwise on your left foot. This should leave you in the same down-left facing position with almost 4 full beats for the big trick. This method will be faster, but slightly more unbalanced.

If it were my spot, for that last hold I'd plant my right hand and do a handstand (you can grab the the bar with your left hand for balance if necessary) As I ended the hold I'd plant my left hand on the last

to dismount.
If that's too acrobatic, You could do the legs on the bar thing too.

No, that's actually what I wanted to do on that part. A handstand would work perfect with that break in the song, my problem was that i just couldn't get turned the right way. Thanks a lot I'll try it out next time I hit the arcade!
